Access to KSL Resouces

KSL has impressive print and digital collections. Access to all KSL resources is granted based on your Case ID card and your Case library account. The Service Center on the main floor can help you with any question about your Case library account.

When you borrow an item from KSL for the first time, please see a staff at the Service Center to activate your library account (you do this only once). The libraries are self-serve: browse the shelves at the library to look for books you'd like to read. When you find a book you'd like to borrow, take it to the SelfCheckOut station & check it out with your Case ID card, or take it to the staff at the Service Center. You'll need your Case ID card in order to to borrow items. Journals, newspapers and magazines have to remain in the library.

Your Case library account allows you to:

Renew online and avoid fines

Check on the status of held items or requested items

Cancel requests for items you no longer need

Your library account automatically gives you borrowing privileges at any campus libraries and at OhioLINK member libraries, for collections that normally circulate. (Example: Music libraries have varying privileges and the Rock and Roll Hall Museum Library is an onsite archive with reading privileges only.)
